Micah looked up, paying close attention to the name on his phone, who was calling him.
A long sigh gushed from his nose as he looked at his mother who called him this early.
"Hallo, Ma." Micah lazily lifted him up. His eyes are still sleepy. Last night he could not sleep because of his sudden dizziness and fever.
"Where are you, Micah? Go home! You think it's good for married women to stay alone out there?"
Micah's forehead was furrowed, how did his mother know that Micah did not sleep in the house?
Micah can already guess the main suspect. It was definitely Gilang who said. He's too reckless. Micah cursed Gilang and would reply if it was Gilang who told Feni.
"I'm at the temen house, Ma. I'll be home a little bad."
"There won't be any later, Micah. It looks like, yes, your habits. Good thing Mama came to your house, so Mama knows how you are doing. No respect for husband. Your husband only eats bread you don't take care of."
"Some of the time Mama feels really free, yes, until coming home?"
"What do you mean, Micah? Don't divert the conversation. Now home! Mama doesn't want to know."
Micah throws his phone with origin. The head that is dizzy has not subsided is now increasingly dizzy to hear his mother's nagging. The fever hasn't come down since last night.
It feels like he just wants to sleep because of the condition of his body that is not friendly. But Micah had to stay awake from his sleep, gathering the energy he had.
Along with that, Gavin opened the door of the room with a tray containing breakfast for Micah.
"Wake up?"
Micah nodded lethargicly. "You're home. There's my mom there."
"You're still sick. I can't let you go home like this."
After putting the tray on the table, Gavin went up to the bed, approached Micah and checked Micah's body temperature. "You still have a fever."
"But I have to go home, brother."
"OKAY. But I'm taking it."
"No!" Micah shook his head strongly. "Mama must have thought strangely if you know the brother who sent me. I ordered a taxi online for me."
Although Micah was not willing to go back to the house again, especially in this sick state, Gavin was forced to nod his head in agreement. "But eat first keep taking medicine, huh? Call me if there's anything."
Micah nodded and smiled. "Yes, Brother."
Gavin immediately feeds Micah with a bowl of chicken porridge he bought at a stall near his apartment.
Last night, though the two loved each other, Gavin let Micah sleep alone in his room. Gavin himself chose to sleep on the living room sofa.
If he wanted to, Gavin could have taken a chance on Micah. But he did not do so to preserve Micah's own honor. She's the wife of a man whose husband hasn't even touched her. Gavin did not want to damage Micah even though he had to half-deadly endure the turmoil.
***
The thing Micah saw when he first entered the house was, Gilang who was sitting casually beside Mama Feni. While Feni himself looked at Micah with a sharp gaze full of annoyance and anger.
"This is what you do, Micah? If there is a problem it is faced, not even left to run. Ninggalin husband, no husband. You think that's good?"
Micah exhaled violently. Not even her own mother could notice her son's face ashen from pain.
Is that taking care of the husband? Which even Micah had never seen his mother do to his father since his mother decided to go back to work and build a business.
"Udah, Ma, it's okay." Gilang. "I was wrong, really. Maybe yesterday I was too rude with Micah," he continued, which made Micah sick.
Micah turned his face. I don't know what Gilang told Feni. Currently Gilang is playing a role. Micah looks wrong in front of Feni. I don't know what makes Feni think Micah runs away from trouble.
"It's okay, Gilang. At times it must be hard with a wife who does not want to obey her husband like this."
Micah's chest tightened as Feni blatantly defended Gilang. Micah was his real son. But he remains guilty in Feni's eyes. In the eyes of the hero is the same. Micah was never right in the eyes of his parents.
"Mama go home first. I was here to take you for a walk. But it turns out Mama was even disappointed with your behavior. Miss, Mama take Micah. You can tell Mama or Papa that Micah's messing around again."
Gilang nodded and smiled. "Good, Ma. Be careful on the road."
Micah didn't take his mother to the front of the house. Micah would rather go to his room. His head grew even more dizzy after hearing Feni's nagging.
"Kasian, yes, is not defended with his own mother," said Gilang. He had just returned home after driving Feni to Feni's car.
Micah went up the stairs. Without looking at Gilang, Micah said, "gue doesn't care."
Up in the middle of the stairs, Micah staggered almost to a fall if only he did not hold on to the iron on the edge of the stairs. What he saw was like spinning, making his head even more painful. "Awh." Micah groaned slowly.
"No drama, Micah!"
Micah doesn't care about Gilang's babble. As much as possible he put his feet up again so he could get into his room.
But at the top of the stairs, Micah was completely knocked down. The dizziness he felt was getting bigger. His chest grew tighter and his eyes grew darker.
"Lo acting, huh?" Gilang ran up the stairs to get to Micah.
Gilang's hand had touched Micah's arm but Micah was still strong to pull him over. "Don't touch me."
"Lo fever, Kha. Head Lo dizzy what? I'll help you to the room." As evil as Gilang to Micah, Gilang remains a man who has a taste of kasian.
He couldn't possibly let Micah who was sick just like that. If it gets worse, Gilang himself will be bothered. That's Gilang's thinking.
"Gue can be alone. You don't want to care about me" said Micah slowly. Trying to stand up and get into the room even with a limp step.

"Who?" Gilang looked at the girl of Micah's age, who was standing in front of his house.
"Cena. Micah's best friend. He's in the room, right? He said it hurt again. I brought him food with me the same medicine."
Sena hesitated to come to Micah's house. Sena had never met Gilang in person other than on Micah's wedding day. Sena was worried Gilang would drive him away and Micah went hungry in his room.
"I can give food and medicine to Micah. So you don't have to come here" said Gilang ketus.
Sena nodded in confirming. "Yes. I know. But I just want to see my friend who's sick."
"No need_"
"Woy, Kill!" His words were cut off because of Micah's shout from the second floor. "Not to be pretentious to forbid my friend to enter. You have no right. Up, Sen. It's human."
Sena held back her laughter so as not to get out. It could be dangerous if his laughter broke in front of Gilang.
In accordance with Micah's orders, Sena passed Gilang and immediately went up to the second floor where Micah's room was.
"He's sick? How can you scream like that?"
"That headaches me, Sena. My mouth can still scream."
Sena laughs. Remove the rice bowl from the plastic bag. "Now, eat. Keep taking the medicine to keep it healthy."
"Thanks, yes, Sen. I was going to ask Gavin to come here. But it's not possible either. There was even a world war the umpteenth time."
"Well, how far along is Lo's relationship with Lo's sister-in-law?" Sena looked at Micah questioningly.
Micah was like licking his own spit. He used to say that there was no way Micah and Gavin would fall in love with each other.
But as time went on, that love actually appeared in their hearts.
"We are not in a relationship. He said love to me, but I haven't returned anything."
"Lo comfortable with her?"
Micah nodded for sure. "He's making me comfortable, Sen. I am happy to be near him. She protected me, made me happy, made me queen. He gave me the love I never got from a man who was my husband. Even my parents now I don't love me anymore."
"Why are you talking like that? Where are parents who don't love their children?"
"There!" micah said quickly. "My parents proved to be that."
"How did your relationship go?"
Micah shook his head. His mouth was still busy chewing the food despite the slightly bland taste in his mouth. "Gue still doesn't know. What is clear is that I must be able to gather evidence to demand a divorce from Gilang."
"So the widow, dong?" canda Sena's.
"No problem. What matters is that my life can be happy."
Micah never cared about his status. Whether you are a widow or not, many people also talk about their lives.
The most important thing for him is that he can be happy in his own way. And if she's happy to give up her marital status, Micah doesn't think that's a big deal.
